Step instructions for selection and use of automation technology in water and wastewater technology

10.09.2015
The member companies of the VDMA Water and Wastewater Technology Group of the VDMA Process Plant and Equipment Association and also those of the VDMA Electric Automation Association (involving other companies) drew up the VDMA Specification 24658: 2015-07 "Water treatment and waste water treatment: Process automation to increase operational efficiency and reliability - Advice for planning, engineering and execution phases". The new VDMA Specification is currently at DIN for examination.

Separation of emulsions in metalworking and metalprocessing

Dewatering of sludges from drinking water purification

Water is the most important drink to humans and essential to the survival of mankind. The rapid population growth particularly in so-called megacities and by that the necessary supply of the population with drinking water as well as the contamination of surface waters are a great challenge for drinking water purification plants.

Multiphase pumps for energy-efficient water and wastewater treatment

Reasonable comparison of mixer solutions in wastewater treatment

Agitators are hydraulic machines that transform electrical energy into flow energy. Measurements in open turbulent systems are difficult to reproduce and therefore not comparable. This made it difficult for planners and operators to compare or estimate the efficiency of agitators.

Water technology: Energy efficient and resource-friendly

02.05.2014
The Process Plant and Equipment Association within VDMA takes part in the BLUE COMPETENCE initiative. Our member companies supply energy efficient and resource-friendly solutions which are exemplary for the very highest plant safety.

EU-28 as stabiliser for the growth path The German manufacturers of components and systems for water treatment, wastewater and sludge treatment were able to increase their exports to more than one billion euros for the first time in 2018.
Compared to the previous year, exports increased significantly (plus 3.9 percent) to around 1,038 million euros (2018) compared to around 999 million euros (2017).

IFAT, the world's leading trade fair for water, sewage, waste and raw materials management, looks back on a successful 2018 edition. In May 2020, the innovations of the environmental technology sector will once again be presented in Munich. Exhibitor registrations are possible from the beginning of October 2018.

… around 20% of fresh water used worldwide is consumed by industry?
This share of industrial consumption, which amounts to around 776 cubic kilometres per year (2000) in absolute figures, is an average value – it may reach up to 60% in more developed countries.

… daily water consumption in households differs greatly around the world? There are extreme differences worldwide in terms of the amount of water people consume in their households. Water consumption in the household crucially depends on the standard of living in each case, efficient building technology and the availability of water.

… annual water consumption per capita has approximately doubled over the past 100 years?
In 1900, 350 cubic metres of water were consumed per capita and year, whereas this figure had already reached 642 cubic metres by 2000. This equates to around 1,700 litres per capita and day and constitutes an enormous total of approximately 4,000 cubic kilometres of fresh water.
